If you are rebuilding your engine and want more power out of the engine.There is a kit available with 4&1/6 inch pistons.I have a propane engine that I have done this with.The engine also runs at a higher top RPM than the standard gas engine.This gives the tractor more power.I found the kit advertised in the ad section listed on the side of this site.Good luck with your machine.

A gas and propane head are the same on a 44. The only difference is that an LP head has hardened valves. The power comes from the high dome pistons. I found this out by having the same idea.

An arguable question in some circles. You truly need the rest of the package to make a go of it.
Such as the domed pistons, and sterling valves.
Changing just the head would not really be worth
the effort. If you had a tired engine, switching
to a high altitude(5k feet)H 260 G #50016& up,
would increase your HP, but what is the condition
of that older engine? Many trade-offs, after
market generic M&W overhaul kits, NOS M&W kits,
back shop secrets, etc. What your needs and budget might be, will determine your choice. First, make sure the #90 gear oil is up to level
in the transmission case. The strong steel gears thrive on a regular bath of good grade oil, no
water leaking through the cracked shift boot. Good luck. Regards, Michael
